Wat Tham Heo Sin Chai is located in Kaeng Tana National Park and was built by Luang Pu Khamla Pakuno. Originally, the area of Wat Tham Heo Sin Chai was a mountain forest. After Luang Pu Khamla came to conduct Buddhist Lent, he joined the villagers to develop the temple and built a sanctuary to be a residence and place for meditation practice for Buddhists. Inside the temple, there is a path to a small cave or as it is known Tham Heo Sin Chai, which enshrines a reclining Buddha image, a statue of a hermit, Phra Mae Thorani, and many other Buddha images. At the cave shed, there is a waterfall from a small stream flowing down into a beautiful water curtain. There is also a wihan of the Emerald Buddha and a large standing Buddha image that can be seen far away from the bridge over the Mun River.
